After spending most of my adult life firmly entrenched in the rat-race, I've decided to "Back 'er Down" and focus on the more simple, important things in life.

Snow Day Musings

Snow day today! Well....winter weather day would be a better description. More ice than snow. No snow in fact. Here in South GA we aren't really familiar with winter weather. We certainly don't have a clue as to how to drive in it. So here I sit....at home. I spent the early part of the morning walking around the Ponderosa looking at ice in the trees. That was pretty neat. I don't particularly care to live in anything like this all the time, but I enjoy the novelty of it once or twice a year.

Here is a picture of the windsock on top of the kid's playhouse. Thing is the wind isn't blowing right now. It's frozen. Pretty cool.

A while back I said that I would try my best to blog a little more often. Writer's block strikes me pretty hard sometimes. Others post pictures when they don't have anything particularly interesting about which to write. I decided to follow suit with the pic above and then this beauty:

This is Davis' first time driving a tractor by himself. I throttled it down as lo as it would go and put it in first gear. I released the clutch with my hand. I was able to walk faster than the tractor was actually moving, but he didn't care. For 5 minutes he was THE man. Only problem now is that he wants to drive all the time ;) I have fond memories of my Dad doing the same thing with me as a youngster. I'm pretty sure Davis had the same feeling I did way back when. Now.......if I can get him running it with a mower behind we'll be in good shape. That might still be a few years away.
